I do not use anymore the term privacy for a couple of years. The term is not anymore making sense in the framework we are living now. I prefer to use intimacy (the degree of being close with someone or an environment) and opacity (the thickness between the « me » and the others having access to « me »)
I have written a few blog posts about this topic.
http://www.la-grange.net/2009/09/22/opacite
The opacity surrounding the « me » follows these principles:
1. Global : chaque unité d’information est disponible partout sur terre.
2. Instantané : chaque unité d’information est disponible en temps réel.
3. Répliqué : chaque unité d’information est répliquée à l’identique.
4. Permanent : chaque unité d’information est conservée pour une longue période de temps.

Immanent in the Manifold City: A Newspaper for Time-Travellers | booktwo.org
One of the odd qualities attributed to Stewart was his ubiquity: a perceived ability to be in more than one place at a time. Following a lifetime of walking across the known world, his final years in London were spent in seemingly unending peregrinations across the city, and more than one commentator recorded encountering him in impossible positions: sat steadfast upon Westminster Bridge, and minutes later, as steadfast upon a bench in St James’ Park. De Quincey himself records passing him at Somerset House, and then overtaking him again on Tottenham Court Road – despite having taken the shortest route through Covent Garden.

llimllib's cherry-blossom at master - GitHub
Cherry Blossom is a blogging system written in Python. It was written specifically because I had a lot of pyblosxom blog entries on my previous blog, but I wanted to use cherrypy instead of plain-ol cgi. It adds features like object publishing, session support, access to lots of cherrypy plugins, access to GET and POST vars as method parameters, and others. This software's been running my blog (http://billmill.org) for over two years now, and has survived a couple redditings and a flood from stumbleupon, all without a hiccup.

(Field)
— a development environment for making digital art
Field is an open-source software project initiated by OpenEnded Group, for the creation of their digital artworks. It is an environment for writing code to rapidly and experimentally assemble and explore algorithmic systems. It is visual, it is hybrid, it is code-based. We think that it has something to offer a diverse range of programmers and artists.
Based on ideas started at the MIT Media Lab, Field was in development in-house for around 6 years. But for the last 16 months it has been quietly available online as an open source project. We are pleased to announce the initial "beta" binary open-source releases for Intel-based Macs OS X 10.5 or 10.6.

Harvard study: Computers don't save hospitals money
"For 45 years or so, people have been claiming computers are going to save vast amounts of money and that the payoff was just around the corner," he said. "So the first thing we need to do is stop claiming things there's no evidence for. It's based on vaporware and [hasn't been] shown to exist or shown to be true."
Un RSI, ça se calcule, mais pour ça, il faut oser regarder le passé en face : ça c'est innovant.
Open Archives content added to WorldCat.org - WorldCat Blog
More than 23 million records have been added to WorldCat.org results this month from a group project called OAIster.
OAIster represents the initiatives that many libraries, museums and archives have taken in recent years to digitize their historic artifacts and make them open to the online world. Including them now in WorldCat increases the visibility of these collections and ensures continued access.

Pragmatic Programming Techniques: NOSQL Patterns
Over the last couple years, we see an emerging data storage mechanism for storing large scale of data. These storage solution differs quite significantly with the RDBMS model and is also known as the NOSQL. The aim of this blog is to extract the underlying technologies that these solutions have in common, and get a deeper understanding on the implication to your application's design.

Buch: "Michael Wolf /// Hong Kong Inside Outside" bei 25books
During his more than 14 years in Hong Kong, German-born photographer Michael Wolf‘s perspective on his adopted city has boiled down to an essence of density – the hemmed-in, closely built environment which shapes everything from its peoples‘ lifestyles to their outlooks and even dreams. In Hong Kong Inside Outside, Wolf collects the works of his two previous collections – Architecture of Density and 100x100 – into a two-volume set focusing on the visual elements of one of the world’s most crowded cities.

Firefox's Plan to Kick the Login's Butt
Identity will be one of the defining themes in the next five years of the Web. Nearly every site has a concept of a user account, registration, and identity. Searching for "sign in" on Google yields over 1.8 billion hits. And yet, the browser does nothing to make this experience better save for some basic auto form filling. The browser leaves websites to re-implement identity management, and forces users to learn a new scheme for every site... Your identity is too important to be owned by any one company.

I had written something these lines a few years ago… Sorry it is in French.
http://www.la-grange.net/2006/04/14 - Un commentaire de trop
But somehow it is a distributed architecture around comments and blogs. If we really think about it a comment, a blog post, and a tweet have the same features usually.
an author, a url (or url-fragment), a text, a date.
blog posts have usually in addition a title and sometimes categories.
